Klang Gates Quartz Ridge Trail

A hike worthy of adventure travel pictures and footage, the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge Trail follows the 22 kilometer (13.7 mile) ridge, one of the largest composites of quartz in the world, from one end to the other. Because of rampant urban development, the city is literally just minutes away, providing some amazing views of the skyline from a number of spots along the hike.

Although not incredibly high, this hike does include some pretty strenuous uphill climbs to reach the ridge top, as well as a few scary moments along the way where the ridge narrows to a precipitous walking path. You can take the hike as a whole, or, in light of possible time restraints, in part.
